Topic 1: Out of the 4 topics I think holding yourself accountable on mistakes and being transparent is very important as a reporter/journalist. Having the awareness and accountability to respond to questions quickly and fairly is also very important. Acting independently I thought was also very important to keep in mind making sure you keep your composure and deny any additional favors or treatments. "Exposing unethical conduct, in journalism, including within their organizations," this guideline really stood out to me because It's something a first-year journalist like myself might miss or forget about when conducting an interview
Topic 2: My 2nd story will be conducted in Portland, OR at the Moda Center when the Portland Trail Blazers square off against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is a good opportunity for a story because it is the future hall-of-famer Kobe Bryant's last time playing there ever. Kobe Bryant is set to retire after this year so Jan. 23rd in the Moda Center should be pretty special. The nut graf of the story will basically be the story of the game as you would find in sports page but with a little bit of Kobe's memories in the Rose quarter over the years. Sources will be hard for this story but hopefully I can conduct an interview but if not I will be the main source watching the game and recording important moments. Some questions I will be asking if I can get an interview with maybe some of the players is something like:
"So what has it been like getting to play alongside Kobe Bryant?"
(Fan) "Over the years, how has Kobe made an impact on the NBA?"
(Fan) "What does it take for Portland to make the playoffs at this point in the season?"
(Fan) "What are your thoughts about Lamarcus Aldridge leaving for the San Antonio Spurs?"
(Fan) "Will you be missing Kobe Bryant after he retires at the end of the year?"
